(Re-)Living History (Poetry) by Georgie Lorimer

‘…up here on the rooftop, watching from this lead-lined aerie, Appleby unfolds below…’

Imagine a creature, a hare perhaps, trailing the streets and lanes of Appleby.

There you will find peasant songs and old photographs, architectural designs and culinary choruses, and a ticking clock...

This debut poetry pamphlet from Georgie Lorimer explores the rich history of Leicestershire, dancing between the traditional and the new. Drawing on her own experience as a musician, she examines how historic stories root us in place through poetry that is melodic, spacial, and which always comes back to haresteps.
